  4. Enter the port you are forwarding in both the Private Port box and the Public Port box.
  5. In the LAN Server box enter the IP address of the computer you are forwarding this port to. For instance if you are forwarding these ports to help a program run smoother on your xbox, make sure to enter the xbox's IP address in this space.
